partial matrix excludes incorrectly flagged as invalid #249
Description
(originally misreported at https://github.com/github/super-linter/issues/3016)
I regularly have matrix entries with several values such as a string for a name, another string for use in identifying this in other matrix conditional checks etc. I also end up using matrix excludes frequently. GitHub Actions itself lets you exclude based on a partial match such as arch: matrix: arm below while the Actions linter here complains that that is missing the arch: name: ARM value.
